RECARO AIRCRAFT SEATING AND LOT POLISH AIRLINES ANNOUNCE PARTNERSHIP FOR LOCAL SEAT PRODUCTION

SCHWAEBISCH HALL, GERMANY, JULY 24, 2025 –
RECARO Aircraft Seating (RECARO), a global leader in
premium aircraft seating solutions, is proud to announce seat
production for LOT Polish Airlines (LOT) will take place
exclusively at the RECARO Aircraft Seating Poland facility –
specifically for the retrofit of LOT’s B787-8 Economy Class
seats to the R3, and for the incorporation of the R2 economy
class seat in their B737-MAX8 and Regional Jet Fleet, as
announced during the Paris Air Show.

This domestic production aligns with LOT’s commitment to
high-quality, locally produced aviation solutions and with the
RECARO strategy of ‘in the region for the region’ which refers
to the location of manufacturing facilities in key areas around
the globe. By focusing production at the Poland facility, it
showcases the flexibility of RECARO production across sites
and reinforces LOT’s operational strategy.

The newly announced R2 seats for the B737-MAX8 and
Regional Jet Fleet will feature genuine leather dress covers in
the LOT blue along with the airline’s insignia embroidered on
a small backrest seam tag. Comfort features include a 6-way
adjustable headrest and a 4 inches recline for B737-MAX8,

“Choosing RECARO seats for LOT’s new aircraft is a decision
based on passenger comfort, quality, and convenience.
Importantly, they are made in Poland. Producing the seats in
Świebodzin supports jobs in Poland and is a great example of
successful international cooperation with strong local roots,”
emphasizes Michał Fijoł, CEO of LOT Polish Airlines.

“This is a proud moment for RECARO as we advance to the
next stage of our partnership with LOT Polish Airlines,” said
Mark Hiller, CEO of RECARO Aircraft Seating and RECARO
Holding. “The ability to produce seating solutions, such as the
R2, locally for one of our customers speaks volumes about our
commitment to customer satisfaction, aligning with the goals
our customers purse, and fostering economic growth in the
regions we reside in.”
